Wisdom Tooth Extractions El Cajon
Making This Rite of Passage Easy & Comfortable
Wisdom teeth were once essential for early humans to maintain their rough diet, but their former purpose of chewing dense, uncooked foods is no longer necessary. We don’t need these teeth to help us eat, causing the jaw to naturally shrink over time. Unfortunately, they still try to erupt, which means pain and potential infection are often the result. If you are a young adult or have a teenager who is experiencing wisdom teeth trouble, contact our office to schedule an appointment and ask our team about wisdom tooth extraction in El Cajon.

The Wisdom Tooth Process
Wisdom teeth that are visible above the gumline, even slightly, can usually be removed with dental instruments that ensure detachment with a simple back-and-forth motion.
Those that remain beneath the gumline or are impacted must be surgically extracted. This requires opening the gums to reveal the tooth and underlying bone. To preserve the bone, we will carefully remove the tooth in sections.
